I don't know anything about Mandrake, but at the very least, you will want a
--prefix=/usr or --prefix=/usr/local option to make it adhere to the FHS:

./configure --prefix=/usr

Plus, you probably want to enable mod_so at the very least, which is not on
by default.  Typing:

./configure --help

will help you work out what options you want, and with zsh or bash
completion you should even be able to tab complete options!  Yay!

BTW, you don't mention which version of apache you are using.  Version 2 is
quite different.

The RPM doesn't contain the configure line, but the SRPM will.
